Merge branch 'master' into add-crt-coefficients
* master: Also clean up this syntax Fixed a missing word in the RSA docs Fix comments in padding.py to be accurate add versionadded to cast5 A few style nits in the docs add CAST5 support to changelog Changed .... lines to ~~~~ and s/Gnu\/Linux/Linux/ Pypy is not a real word either apparently. Added Pypy note and fixed libffi's "spelling" Added Debian mention, extra missing packages Added a docs section on Linux installation remove some extra linebreaks add cast5 docs Syntax highlight the go code. Be mad Rob Pike. add cbc, cfb, ofb support to CAST5 (aka CAST128) for openssl & cc re-add CAST5 ECB support (OpenSSL & CC backends). fixes #417 Switch this to a warning block Be clear about HKDF's applicability for password storage Conflicts: docs/hazmat/primitives/rsa.rst

+Building cryptography on Linux
+------------------------------
+
+``cryptography`` should build very easily on Linux provided you have a C
+compiler, headers for Python (if you're not using ``pypy``), and headers for
+the OpenSSL and ``libffi`` libraries available on your system.
+
+Debian and Ubuntu systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command line will ensure the required
+dependencies are installed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
+
+You should now be able to build and install cryptography with the usual
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install cryptography
+
Using your own OpenSSL on Linux
--------------------------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Python links to OpenSSL for its own purposes and this can sometimes cause
problems when you wish to use a different version of OpenSSL with cryptography.
